[Western Crossover] How a Dark Multiverse Batkid Becomes a Supervillain

Gotham's nights are never short of people looking to stir up trouble. They call themselves supervillains and turn everything upside down. They have to wear outlandish costumes and give themselves a grandiose name. They're a stubborn troupe of actors, convinced this city was built as their stage.

Batman thought the newcomer was no different.

*

Eight-year-old Helena has the greatest mom in the world.

She has a really cool suit, and every night she puts it on and knocks down all the bad guys who bring chaos and violence.

Helena knows her mom is protecting her and all of Gotham.

Her mom is a hero, a lighthouse that never goes out in the dark. She is Batman.

Helena, forever frozen at seventeen, still believes Batman is a hero.

But she has decided to stand against that hero.

Please note! This is not a revenge story about someone returning from the dead.

1. This is the beloved Batkid genre! (?) But there is no bad-dad Batman or sole girl in the Batfamily, ahem.

2. The female lead and Helena, the Huntress, are not the same person. (They're probably alternate counterparts.) See the cover for the character design. This clueless author drew it herself, hehe.

3. A little BatCat, a little DickBabs.

4. Purely self-indulgent. The author still hasn't sorted out the timelines or plots across DC's various publications. No writing skill, no research, no coherent timeline, just out-of-character moments and a ton of absurd personal headcanon.

5. As things stand, daily life takes up the most space, so is this actually a healing slice-of-life story? (?)
